Illinois v. Louisiana
Read this interesting article in Slate.com entitled Political Corruption Smackdown: Which state is the most crooked-Illinois or Louisiana?
Don’t be fooled by the delicate academic sensibilities of the article’s author. Louisiana wins this competition without breaking a sweat. Illinois seems impressive because they keep getting caught and keep going to jail. In Louisiana, our "impressive stats" are just the tip of the iceberg. For every conviction, we've got at least 1,000 unprosecuted cases of corruption slipping around, over and under the radar. That's because our guys are PROS! Illiniois is amateur hour.
We're number one, baby! Geaux team!
